TracerFactory and processors/exporters.

[carlosalberto]

I searched through the discussion on named tracers, and couldn't find anything related to registration of exporters/processors. It is mentioned that configuration should be available to all the named tracers, so they can consume it, but that's it.

For example:

Tracer tracer = tracerFactory.get("mainApp");
tracer.addSpanProcessor(new MySpanProcessor());
...
Tracer tracer = tracerFactory.get("myInstrumentedLibrary71");
tracer.addSpanProcessor(new MySpanProcessor());

In the second piece, do we expect to not share any processor by the different tracers at all, OR to inherit or share them in one or another way? I feel this is something that would be nice to have clear and documented ;)

addSpanProcessor should be a method on the TracerFactory based on the specs I linked.

Ah, my bad ;( Thanks for pointing that out. Somehow I had missed it. Closing this issue.
